Thomas Gray, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Amelia Opie

For many in Europe the focus has shifted West to the Americas both by settlement and by war against the indigenous tribes and then between themselves. Democracy would be re-born by the American War of Independence.In the East, India becomes the stage for further expansion.For our wordsmiths the world had become a wider page on which to write their thoughts.Coleridge, Pope, Southey, Wordsworth speak with lyrical eloquence upon subjects great and small but always from...

The English countryside has inspired some of the most exquisite and well-loved poetry ever composed in the language. This selection of verse includes, among others, Thomas Gray's reflective and moving meditation on mortality, 'Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard', the soaring beauty of Wordsworth's lines on Tintern Abbey and Keats's ode to Autumn, the deceptively simple words of Emily Brontë and the personal and evocative verse of Thomas Hardy, bringing together the greatest riches of E...

Thomas Gray, Robert Southey, Letitia Elizabeth Landon

At first thought, this seems an unlikely area to find fine poetry.The Graveyard Poets, also known as Churchyard Poets or the Boneyard Boys, began in pre-Romantic days with a leaning towards gloom, melancholy and the general decay of churchyards.It should be remembered that in the 18th century some city graveyards were a teeming mass of overcrowding and disease, their country brethren better housed but hardly idylls of worship.What would eventually lead to the Gothic...

If I did, I knew that I would never leave the hellhole I had grown to despise, a place I began plotting my escape from as a child.The only difference was that I always thought she'd be by my side on the day I was finally free.The day I left it all behind was the day my hatred for the entire Wilson family was born. Poppy included. After all, she had lied to the police just to protect her monstrous father after...

When that bright light of recognition, and perhaps a glint of fame, falls upon us then maybe our first assumption is that our moment has at last arrived and, now that it is here, it will never leave us.Of course, as the wise sages remind us, fame is fleeting and for the authors in this volume it has indeed passed, and their works are now but a distant memory in the minds of just a few.We take exception to that. Talent endures. Perhaps styles change, fads come and go, but st...

All the things that keep me up at night are probably someone else's dreams.From the moment I saw Ryann Denver in my Business 101 class, I was intrigued and determined to get to know her.

The Puck Boys of Brooks University

They say the line that separates love from hate is thin. So thin, in fact, that the two almost coexist.

I'm calling bullshit on all of it.Tate Tracy is about to find out that I'm not the nice boy anymore. Nor am I a forgiving person. She might have been my best friend for eighteen years, but now, she's no one. And if I have to remind her of that, I will. ...

Angry. Wild. Loose cannon.As one of college hockey's most feared defensemen, I've been told I'm all those things and more. The ice is the only place where I can take my anger out on other people and get applauded for it. The rougher I play, the dirtier I am, the more praise I get.I suppose the same could be said about me in the bedroom. I'm not the dude you want your daughter bringing home to meet you. Because your angel? Well, I'll make sure her halo is cr...
